E l IMPROVEMENT IN COMBlNED REMOVABLE C-OCKS AND FIXED SOCKETS- .The Schedule referred to ln these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it muy concern.'

Be it known that I, GonNELloUs SULL1vAN,.of Boston, in the county ot Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fancet-0ouplings, of which the following is a complete specicat-ion.

the valve D is pressed by the spring E when not forced back bythe extension K of the faucet H.

c c c e andd l el Z are openings, made in the tube C1 O2, and serve to allow the duid within the barrel to flow into the tubeand (when the faucet is in place,

Nature mul Objects of the Invention. The nature and'object of my invent-ion consist in anew construction and arrangement of the several` General Description; I construct my invention as follows: B represents a part of the barrel-head, which is` permanently attached, by any 'suitable means, to the s flanged thimble A; Y C C1 is along tube, having an external and internal screw cut upon and in it, as shown, and is screwed into the tbimble A, as represented.

S Sis a valve-seat, formed in the tube C, upon which that is when the valve D is pressed, as shown in fig. l) into the fauce n n n n, iig. 1, are openings `through the extension K ot' the faucet.

The Use of my Invention?. The part A may be permanently attached to the barrel. f

The parts Ol C1, D, E,'and O2, when desirable to fill or rinse the barrel, are removed. As soon as tbe barrel is refilled the part C' C is screwed in, thus closing t-lc orifice completely the valve D being held against the seat by Athespring E.

When desirable to insert the faucet it is only necessary to screw it iu as it enters it will press back the valve D and thus allow communication between the contents of the barrel and the cock H;

I claim as my inventionlhe combination of thc permanent thimble A, the removable tube C G1, and the spring-valve D, with the extension K of the cock H, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
